Anyway, kipping in a holiday inn was pretty lush considering it's usually a tent with a dodgy sleeping bag when it comes to anything bike related. Getting up was hard though as the sheets there seem to not want to let you go?
Anyway, off up to peebles with Jol, my sis and Dad. The HUb in the forest bike shop and Cafe based at Glentress has been the guideline for how other trail centres should operate. Luxurious cafe, with outdoor seating giving you a view of the scottish landscape right on their front door. Tonnes of hire bikes ready at your disposal from kids 24inch rippers all the way up to full on 224 rigs. Shame they don't open on Mondays though! So i ended up lugging my Glory all over the hills and back...
Not many riding pictures unfortunately, but a shed load of video so keep checking back for that later on in the week.
Hanging, we packed up and headed towards 'The Bike Lodge' bang inthe centre of Innerliethen. To be honest i ws expecting a youth hostel style shack, but how wrong were we...
Really plush interior with three rooms, fully equipped bike shop, kitchen and living area complete with PS2 (Infact, Jolleys on it right now) Shame me and Jolley are the only two here, making it a bit too brokeback for my liking....
Nic from the Hub up at Glentress runs this, go check it out over at,
it won't break the bank either....
Tommorows Inners and i can hear the push up route taunting me allready...
